We have had a busy last couple of months. Reagan is 8! I can't believe she's 8 already. She had her birthday party at Panola Mountain State Park like she has so many other birthdays. We had perfect, sunny weather. She had several friends come and they had a wonderful time. And since her birthday fell on the weekend this year we were actually able to hold her party on St. Patrick's Day. She had a shamrock theme for the party and it was very cute. I think she had a great day.


Kinley is walking now! She took her first steps a couple weeks ago at Mom and Dad's house toward PaPa! It took a couple more weeks for her to get the hang of it but now she's a full time walker. Weekend before last we took a trip down to Stride Rite and got Kiki her first pair of shoes. She loves them and gets so excited when I put them on her.



Reagan has 3 weeks left of school and she will be out for the Summer! She's ready; I'm kinda ready. Ha! We're all very excited for the vacation we have planned for the week of Caleb's birthday. We are planning to go down to Gulf Shores for a week for his birthday and can't wait! Caleb's speech is improving every day. He can now tell me how old he will be on his birthday and even hold up the fingers to show me. He knows we're going to the beach to play in the water and he told me he wants a Ka-Chow (Cars) birthday cake.

The weather has been wonderful here all Spring. It has only recently started to get hot with temps in the upper 80s. We spend as much time outside enjoying it as possible. We have the best little spot in all of Georgia to enjoy being outside, with all of our beautiful shade trees and our quiet, safe neighborhood. Here are a few pics of the kids from the last few weeks. I'm sure we will have much more to post after our vacation in June.

On Sunday, February 26, Kinley Jocelyn turned 1! The night before her birthday was filled with nostalgia for the night we went to the hospital to have her. I was sentimental on Reagan and Caleb's first birthday as well but there's something surreal about knowing your last baby is turning 1. There were tears. :)

For her birthday celebration we had friends and family over to Mom and Dad's house for yummy food on the grill and cupcakes. It was a beautiful day as we had excellent weather. Kinley got a lot of great presents and loved her cupcakes.


As for the rest of us, all is well. Mike started a new job at a different hotel a few weeks ago so we've all been adjusting to a somewhat new schedule. Reagan's school year is winding down and we're excited about spring and summer. Caleb is his normal wild self. We still watch Cars and Scooby Doo (Loo Loo) every day. Kinley isn't walking yet but is getting very close. She loves "pouches" by Plum Organics and bananas. She has a few words but nothing intelligible yet. My business is (slowly) growing. I love every minute that I get to spend there with my clients. I really enjoy my work.

This week is all about preparation for Reagan's 8th birthday party. I can't believe she will be 8 years old this Saturday!! She wants a Lilo & Stitch birthday cake but wants St. Patty's Day decorations. We are planning to have her party at Panola Mountain Park like most of her birthdays and are praying for beautiful weather like we had last year.

Here are some recent pictures of the kiddos.

I've let so much time pass since my last post. Thankfully, I think everybody keeps up with us on Facebook so you know we're still here and just busy, busy.



Reagan is doing well in 2nd grade. It has been a struggle at times but her grades are outstanding and we are seeing improvements elsewhere. She has lost several teeth and has another loose one! She is officially a Snaggletooth!




Caleb is finally talking and I LOVE it! He is the sweetest (most of the time), cuddliest, and cutest boy. His favorite movies are Cars, Cars 2, and Scooby Doo. We watch them frequently!




Kinley is growing up so fast. She is the owner of two bottom teeth with two tops ones getting ready to pop through any day now. She crawls, cruises the furniture, and is becoming brave, trying to stand hands-free. This results in frequent crashes so it will probably still be some time before walking. She also waves and claps! She is such a good baby and a wonderful addition to our family. I think she has the greatest laugh and such a sweet personality.




My business is doing very well! Back in October I opened in my own space and it's been wonderful! I love my little building and I have the greatest clients! There is so much opportunity for growth and I'm hoping to have a great 2012!



I will try to get together some other photos from throughout the year. Wishes for a Happy 2012 to everyone!!
